Alien

""Alien" was the first thing I kind of described the feeling of not knowing what you're feeling. You know. We all think we know what aliens are, but no one really knows. And we all think we know how people feel but no one really knows if they're not your own feelings."
— Sabrina Carpenter in Genius.com's "Verified" video on the song "Alien"[1]

This feeling's so alien
Need to know if you're just a friend
Are you a secret I'm holdin' in?
So leave it on my brain if you feel the same
Lie but I notice it
Don't know the rules but I got to win
The paranoia is sinkin' in
So leave it on my brain if you feel the same

Don't let me leave when I'm standing at your door
Don't make me stop when you're really wanting more
If you show me what you were thinking of
Let me get inside your mind
If you show me love it'll be enough
It'll be a better night

If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
It'll be a better night
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
If you love me let me know
It'll be a better night

Alienated them
What about when our love began?
Emotions are moving in
Getting in my space, livin' in my place
When did these games begin?
I'm overthinking my thoughts again
No, we don't break, but we're bound to bend
Getting in my space, livin' in my place

Don't let me leave when I'm standing at your door
(Baby no, don't let me)
Don't make me stop when you're really wanting more
('Cause I know you're wanting more)
If you show me what you were thinking of
Let me get inside your mind
If you show me love it'll be enough
It'll be a better night
